Lovely macro. Nice shot.

Thankyou.

A monopod and a smaller aperture would help the most your new lens.My regards.

A very good shot again Sarah. Great colours, and DOF. Best regards, Torfinn.

Hard to compare unless side by side , but I wonder if the two previous posts are in slightly better focus. I find it very difficult to use a tripod for highly mobile wildlife. I also am new to macro, but what seems to work for me hand-held is rapid frames at not less than 1/800, 400 ISO.

Thanks Roger, really appreciate your help, having a nightmare with these bees!Will give that shutter speed a try, took tripod out and it just made whole thing clumsy lol! :)

Excellent shot.Beautiful colours&contrast is great.Great such as all other shots.

I like it, perfect DOF, best regards.

Hi Sarah. You have done remarkably well with this photo. I find that the use of tripod makes you so much less agile with capturing the bee particularly as they don't tend to stay in one place for long. I prefer handheld and you can still get 1 out of 4 shots on target. Roger's suggestion of iso 400 and at least 1/800th sec is the way to go. Regards. Taha

Great colours and precise DOF/focus. Macros are addicting eh? :) You got a great collection.

Very good colors and synthesis.

What a great macro. It is very cool to see your considerable skills being used a different way. Looking forward to many more wonderful photo's from you.
